I recommend Brian’s reflections. He articulates my feelings/experiences of well-meaning preachers who lose the mystery of the Gospel story, attempting to somehow solve it, losing the beauty of it in the process.
The gospel is not a fiction, but it is a story.

I don’t have Senators I can contact because both are *rumpers. I could call them but the calls would be ignored. I hope the Dems don’t cave.

Bishop Craig Loya is speaking to the Fall Meeting of the House of Bishops of the #Episcopal Church about the missional journey of being a remnant church. We need to invest in strengthening the core, not convincing the edges as we focus on launching and canoes more than repairing the ocean liner. ⚓️

Kansas will see a large number of rural hospitals closing and a equally horrific number of poor people losing health insurance but I bet the rural support of our two awful Senators (who will vote for the reconciliation bill) will still be strong. Kansas always votes against its own self interest.

So Texas is going to demand the Ten Commandments be posted in reach classroom? I wonder if it has to be in English?If I were forced to do so, I would use the Hebrew language version.... It's more accurate than most English translations and no student would have a clue to what it said.

I’m thrilled to be a priest in the Episcopal Church.
The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Read this earlier today:
Self-control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn't shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don't allow others to control the direction of your life. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

Read and remember.
It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
